The CSP says the the numbers improved from last year, though. So, there’s a small silver lining to these statistics.

In 2016, police issued nearly 6,000 tickets and responded to 447 crashes. Also, 72 crashes had recorded injuries while 2 turned out to be fatal.

Either way, Connecticut’s roads were a mess over the holiday weekend and that rain certainly didn’t help conditions. But, thankfully, it seems the state’s drivers happened to be a bit more conscientious on the roads this year.

Considering that a record amount of people traveled over Memorial Day Weekend, here’s hoping this trend continues.
